All true seekers of Gnosis should study this remarkable book, illuminating masterpiece showing part of the pre-advent and post-resurrectional work and transcendent teachings of Lord Jesus.
Pistis Sophia January 30, 2006
25 out of 30 found this review helpful
This coptic codex is absolutely a source of enlightment for those who can understand gnostic hermeneutics. And the translation by MEAD, although from the Latin version and not the coptic, is still one of he most beautiful ones found even today, after almost 100 years of its first English printing.
Carl Schmidt's bilingual version of PISTIS SOPHIA is also worth studying. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to get.
